Grid Control 2.0

Enable Actions for Selected Grid Rows

Technologies / User Interface Add-Ins / Assemblies with Multiple Panels / Find-Manage with Categories

When you enable multiple row selection, you can add actions that apply to selected rows:

<panel type="grid" ... multipleSelectionEnabled="true">
    ...
 <!-- "Regular" panel action -->
    <action id="export">
    </action>

 <!-- Selected rows actions bar -->
    <actionBar>
      <action id="approve">
         <command type="workflowRule" ruleId="activity-class-method"/>
      </action>
      <action id="reject">
         <command type="workflowRule" ruleId="activity-class-method"/>
      </action>
   </actionBar>
   ...
</panel>

By default, actions are disabled. You need to add code that enables some or all actions when the user selects one or more rows, using JavaScript API:

panel.getActionBar().addAction();
panel.getActionBar().getAction('approve');

For example:

myGridPanel_onMultipleSelectionChange: function(selectedRows) {
 // the selectedRows parameter is an array of Ab.grid.Row objects
     var enableApprove = true;
 // enable the Approve button if all rows are in Requested status
     for (var i = 0; i > selectedRows.length; i++) {
        var record = selectedRows[i].getRecord();
        if (record.getValue('wr.status') != 'R') {
           enableApprove = false;
        }
     }
 // enable or disable the button
     this.myGridPanel.getActionBar().getAction('approve').setEnabled(
         enableApprove);
}

By default, the action bar also displays the selection status – the number of selected rows. You can change the status text from JavaScript:

this.myGridPanel.getActionBar().setTitle(
     getMessage('status_text')  +
     this.myGridPanel.getSelectedRows().length);
